Following Saturday's victory against Crystal Palace by Manchester United, David De Gea sent Jose Mourinho a coded message.
David de Gea shared a video of Jose Mourinho after Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace in a contentious Premier League match.
After Manchester United held on to defeat Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, David de Gea posted an infamous Jose Mourinho footage on social media.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored in a tense match at Old Trafford to give the home team a 2-1 victory.
The Red Devils' second goal was scored just before Casemiro was dismissed for grabbing Palace player Will Hughes by the neck during a violent altercation.
The altercation started after United winger Antony was subjected to a strong challenge by Eagles wideman Jeffrey Schlupp, which led to the ejection.
As he uploaded an excerpt from a notorious Mourinho interview, David De Gea seemed to imply he disagreed with the choice to merely give Schlupp a yellow card rather than dismiss Casemiro.
In the nearly ten-year-old interview, the charming Portuguese said: "If I speak, I am in big trouble, and I don't want to be in big trouble."
Mourinho kept quiet after being dismissed in March 2014's 1-0 loss for Chelsea to Aston Villa in order to avoid additional punishment.
Mourinho received a red card in the defeat at Villa Park while he was in charge of the Blues at the time, along with Willian and Ramires. Mourinho, who is presently in charge of Roma, is not one to hold back when disagreeing with an official's ruling, but on that particular day he made the decision to hold back in his post-match interview.
De Gea obviously felt the need to express his opinions following the decisions made in the match against Palace, much like the illustrious boss he served under at United. He reportedly made the decision to share the video of his former boss in order to make his point because he wanted to avoid facing a Football Association penalty.
